Prime Video Debuts Blade Runner 2099 Trailer With Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer

It marks a deliberate, canonical continuation overseen by Ridley Scott and showrunner Silka Luisa.

Overview

  • Prime Video premiered the first teaser and official images Friday at San Diego Comic-Con and announced that all eight episodes will stream globally on November 25, 2026.
  • The series is set 50 years after Blade Runner 2049 in a Los Angeles where replicants have won an uprising and now hold power over humans.
  • Michelle Yeoh plays Olwen, a replicant blade runner approaching the end of her lifespan, and Hunter Schafer plays Cora, a human fugitive posing as a blade runner who partners with Olwen to hunt a runaway carrying a city‑threatening secret.
  • Silka Luisa is the showrunner and writer, Jonathan van Tulleken directed the first two episodes, Michael Green helped develop the project, and Ridley Scott serves as an active executive producer.
  • The production leans on a new 'sunshine noir' look, practical sets and location work in Prague and Barcelona to evolve Blade Runner’s visual world while aiming to connect directly to the films’ mythology.
